Tolu Dada - Module 3 Notes - 9908930

  1. To read signs, you need to have good  (specific type of vision)

    Focal

  2. Paracentral is the area that surrounds the focal vision and helps the driver to identify a target area.

  3. Your field of vision is 180 degrees



  5. A driver uses Peripheral vision to detect the motion from the sides.



  1. Peripheral vision is first affected by fatigue, drugs and speed.



  1. Your visual lead time (on an open road) should be at least 20-30 seconds ahead.



  1. The visual search pattern includes continuously searching left to right



  1. When a driver increases speed, vision of a driver may become distorted, and Peripheral vision may be reduced up to 90 percent.



  1. Depth Perception is the ability to judge how far something is, or the distance between two objects.



  1. Different ways to reduce glare for a driver 

use the edge of the lane as a guide until the vehicle passes and watch traffic in peripheral for oncoming headlights and lower dashboard lights when dark out for internal light.



  1. Risk acceptance involves what? 

    1. Knowing potential errors, hazards, and limitations and understanding the consequences

  2. TRUE OR FALSE: Risk compensation is what a driver does to reduce risk while driving



  1. Risk assessment is the ability to identify dangerous situations, consider options, and take action



  1. Highlight one: What is safe driving on the habit level? 

Practicing risky behaviors and see if you keep from crashing.

Practicing safe driving procedures until little thought is required to perform with skill and precision.

  • Practicing until you can complete all the driving skills perfectly.

Practicing a skill for 30 days in a row.

  1.  By adjusting speed and position, developing good habits and communication, a driver can reduce driving risks.



  1. The space management system we will use is the SEEiT

S- searching

E- evaluate

E- execute

I- in

T- time



  1. To search effectively, drivers need to know? Different potential risks in the path-of-travel or adjacent lanes.



  1. Deciding to slow down in case a small child is following a ball is an example of evaluate



  1. Seeing the ball in the road is an example of searching



  1. Slowing down your vehicle by pressing down on your brake would be an example of execute



  1. A following interval of 2 seconds provides time to steer out of problem areas on dry surfaces at speeds up to 35 mph.



  1. A following interval of 3 seconds provides time to steer out of problem areas on dry surfaces at speeds up to 45 mph.



  1. A following interval of how many seconds provides time to steer out of problem areas on dry surfaces at speeds up to 70 mph. (4 seconds)



  1. When stopped behind another vehicle you should be able to see the tires make contact with the road surface of the vehicle in front of you.
